DAVID Levett, of the National Secular Society, has got it wrong.
(Secular solutions, Letters, September 18). The majority of us may not be practising Christians, but our cultural inheritance is deeply Christian.
While many of us have come of age and no longer believe in a "father figure that will punish us horribly" we are moved by the radical message of Jesus that asks us to love our neighbour as ourselves.
That is why some of us reach out to discover what allows us to connect with the core values of love and compassion found in many other faith traditions, despite those who distort them for their own political agenda.
